Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 370

Steven furrowed his brows. Yasmin's current behavior was eerily reminiscent of Stephanie Carlson's demeanor before she lost her memory.

"Peter Jones created a 'Stephanie Carlson', knowing you'd fall for it," Yasmin said indifferently, then glanced at the time. "Steven, I'm running out of time."

Steven warily stared at Yasmin and responded in a low tone, "Your acting isn't very convincing."

"I never claimed to be anyone." Yasmin sneered, gazing at Steven. "Are you afraid? Afraid that I might be the real Stephanie Carlson, knowing that everything you've said to her is just a lie?"

Steven clenched his fists tightly.

Yasmin spoke solemnly as she approached Steven, "Steven, you and I are born to be monsters with souls of demons. We lack emotions, destined to be free from emotional attachments.

"The emotions and love we experienced in the past were nothing but facades and imitations of ordinary people's lives. You wouldn't… actually believe it, would you?"

She then cast a sharp gaze at me and added, "Honestly, I dislike this body immensely. But what I detest even more… is being impersonated."

My heart skipped a beat. I never knew Yasmin was so talented in acting. She seemed like an entirely different person.

"Don't forget our plan," Yasmin reminded Steven.

"What plan? Remind me," Steven casually gazed at Yasmin, raising his hand to shield me, preventing me from making eye contact with her.

I hid behind him, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Yasmin chuckled, replying with just two words, "Project Zero."

Steven visibly stiffened. Perhaps this was a secret known only to him and Stephanie Carlson.

I stared at Yasmin in astonishment, wondering how she had discovered such a secret.

Meanwhile, Joel, who had been leaning against the main door, picked up a stone from the ground and hurled it at Yasmin. She noticed it but failed to evade it.

Joel chuckled and remarked, "If it were her, she'd have caught that stone in her hand."

"Fool… " Yasmin mocked Joel. "Stephanie Carlson's body was genetically enhanced. Do you think this body of mine now is anything of excellence?"

Joel furrowed his brows in silence.

"Steve… Don't believe her. I overheard Peter and Mrs. Ford's conversation. They must have found a way to help Yasmin impersonate me. I— " I explained anxiously.

"Can you prove that you're Stephanie Carlson?" Steven interrupted with a probing question.

My mouth fell open; I couldn't provide any proof since I had no memories of Steven or anything from my past.

"If you don't believe me… just go ahead and call me a fake then," I replied in a low tone, turning away in despair, feeling utterly foolish.

I had to admit that Peter had done an impressive job in preparing Yasmin to imitate me.

"Steven, you should have believed me the moment I mentioned Project Zero and the secret of soul reincarnation. It seems your intellect has been compromised by her influence during my absence." Yasmin remarked solemnly before adding, "See you tomorrow at 10 am, the usual place."

With that, Yasmin left.

Joel glanced at Yasmin and then at me, commenting "That one seems more like her."

Obviously, even he found that Yasmin's current behavior was reminiscent of Stephanie Carlson's in the past.
